S4 EPISODE 15: TEAM MEETINGS WITH FAITH. INVITING GOD INTO YOUR LEADERSHIP

This week on Thrive, I’m sharing a leadership lesson that has transformed the way I lead our church staff, volunteers, and teams. Together, we explore what happens when people intentionally gather with God and align around a common purpose. I talk about the power of unity, the importance of staying focused on a shared mission, and why prayer and worship can bring strength, clarity, and breakthrough to any team, family, or organization. Drawing from both biblical principles and practical leadership experiences, I share how regular gatherings can create alignment, build stronger relationships, and help people move forward together. Whether you lead a business, a ministry, a family, or a small team, this episode will encourage you to create space for meaningful connection, intentional prayer, and a renewed focus on your God-given purpose. I hope this episode challenges and inspires you to bring your team together, seek God collectively, and experience the strength that comes from moving forward in unity. → Shop Thrive merch here: https://thriveworld.us/merch.php [https://thriveworld.us/merch.php]

In this episode of Thrive, I sit down with my friend Ernie Felipe for a powerful conversation about faith, mental health, and the journey toward healing and wholeness. We talk about some of the challenges many people face when it comes to anxiety, shame, fear, and emotional health, and how faith can play a vital role in helping us navigate those struggles. Ernie shares insights from both his experience as a Christian counselor and his personal walk with God, offering practical wisdom on renewing our minds, finding freedom from unhealthy patterns, and living with greater purpose and peace. Whether you're a leader, a parent, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking to grow spiritually and emotionally, this conversation is filled with encouragement, truth, and practical takeaways that can help you move forward with confidence. I hope this episode reminds you that seeking healing is not a sign of weakness, but a step toward the life God has called you to live. → Shop Thrive merch: https://thriveworld.us/merch.php [https://thriveworld.us/merch.php]

S4 EPISODE 13: YOUR FUTURE. YOUR PRESENT. HOW TOMORROW HELPS TODAY

On this week’s episode of the Thrive podcast, I talk about the power of vision and how the future you see can shape the way you live today. So many people allow their past to define them, but God often uses vision to pull us forward into the person He’s calling us to become. I share how having a clear vision for your life, family, leadership, marriage, business, and faith changes the decisions you make in the present. Vision brings discipline, clarity, endurance, and purpose. It helps you stay focused through distractions, resist temptation, and continue moving forward even during difficult seasons. I also talk about how leaders make different choices when they know where they’re going, why purpose fuels discipline, and how hope in the future God has for you can sustain you through hard moments. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to stop living only based on your current circumstances and start allowing God-given vision to guide your life and leadership. → Shop Thrive merch: https://thriveworld.us/merch.php [https://thriveworld.us/merch.php]

S4 EPISODE 12: REMAINING STEADFAST IN A SHAKEN WORLD w/ John Lefebvre & Adam Montes

On this week’s episode of Thrive, I sat down with my good friends, Pastor Adam and Pastor John, for a conversation about what it means to stay steadfast in leadership, faith, and everyday life. We talked about consistency, conviction, integrity, and how staying grounded in God’s Word shapes the way we lead and live, especially during difficult seasons. Throughout this conversation, we share personal stories, leadership lessons, and practical wisdom on remaining faithful while continuing to lead and love people well. We dive into the importance of relational leadership, building trust before correction, guarding what influences your heart and mind, and staying rooted in Scripture instead of being shaped by culture. This episode is a reminder that steadfastness is not about perfection, but about remaining anchored in your faith and committed to the calling God has placed on your life. I truly believe this conversation will encourage leaders, pastors, young adults, and anyone trying to stay grounded while navigating life’s challenges. I pray this episode encourages you, strengthens your faith, and reminds you to continue thriving in every season. → Shop Thrive merch: https://thriveworld.us/merch.php [https://thriveworld.us/merch.php]

S4 EPISODE 11: THE CRAZY GOD: CHOSEN BEFORE WE WERE QUALIFIED

In this episode of Thrive, I talk about how God often chooses people in ways that make absolutely no sense to us. We tend to look at qualifications, experience, confidence, and perfection, but throughout the Bible we see that God consistently uses imperfect people to fulfill incredible purposes. This conversation is a reminder that you are chosen before you feel ready and called before you feel complete. I dive into the lives of the disciples and how Jesus intentionally chose flawed people with weaknesses, mistakes, and shortcomings to carry out a kingdom assignment far bigger than themselves. I also share practical leadership lessons about going further, reaching farther, and seeing bigger through faith, even when you feel unqualified or uncertain about what’s ahead. Sometimes the greatest limitation we face is the way we see ourselves, and this episode is meant to encourage you to stop disqualifying yourself from the very thing God may be calling you into. Whether you’re leading in ministry, business, your family, or simply trying to grow in your faith, I hope this episode challenges you to trust God more deeply, lead with courage, and embrace the purpose He has placed on your life. → Shop Thrive merch here: https://thriveworld.us/merch.php [https://thriveworld.us/merch.php]
